VINTAGE SCOTLAND - EPHEMERA.
View allAll Photos Tagged Letterhead,
The theme for the Macro Mondays group today is "White on White". Never have I felt less inspired. And now I look at all the other contributions to the group I realise how far I missed the target by. There are so many fabulous images using just white on white.
But my effort does carry weight, for me. A few years ago my mother gave me a gift. It felt pretty heavy in the wrapping and it was not that big, but when I opened it, it brought a big smile to my face. Inside was the letterhead stamp for North Calder farm, Thurso, Caithness. I remember seeing it on my grandfather's messy desk when I was only a young boy visiting the farm from Germany. As a child I just loved the action of clamping a fresh piece of paper between the jaws of the press, and then pressing down on the handle to leave an embossed letterhead.
Having had something like 26 'permanent' homes in my life, not including the ships, the one home....my spiritual home and 'family' home .....was always North Calder in the extreme and remote north of Scotland. And that's why this picture is important for me, capturing a memory of the embossing letterhead stamp that used to sit on my grandfather's desk, and which now sits in my bookcase.
